From No Qualifications to BHS Award Winner.

George spent over two years at Shropshire Adventures Academy working towards his BHS qualifications. He left with a string of nationally recognised awards, a BHS Changing Lives accolade and a confidence in himself that changed everything.

George Arrived with a Love of Horses, But no Qualifications to Match.

George arrived at the academy with a love of horses but no formal qualifications to show for it. Despite having a pony of his own at home, he had never pursued equestrian education and found new situations and social interaction difficult. He was ready for more, he just needed the right environment to make it happen.

George’s Journey at Shropshire Adventures Academy.

Over two years, George worked his way through a remarkable range of BHS qualifications. He completed the full BHS Bronze and Silver Challenge Awards, achieved his BHS Stage 1 and Stage 2 Ride and Care, earned his BHS Ride Safe and was recognised nationally with the BHS Changing Lives Award for his achievements. Every step of the way, the academy tailored his programme to his pace, his confidence and his goals.

George’s Transformation: Qualified, Confident and Ready for What's Next.

The qualifications tell one story. George's personal development tells another. The young man who once found it difficult to be around others grew into someone who feels genuinely confident and comfortable in himself and in the company of those around him. He has since completed his BHS Stage 2 Trek Leader exams and is now working towards a future in the equine industry, equipped with the skills, the credentials and the self-belief to get there.

A Total Transformation.
"We don’t really know quite where to start when it comes to thanking you for the help you have given George over the past few years. The difference in him since he started attending on a regular basis has been amazing and we have you to thank for enabling him to keep doing that."
